Iconic white pantsuit aside, it was Ocasio-Cortez’s fierce accessories that arguably stole the show. She rocked a bold red lip and glam gold hoop earrings, which she explained were a tribute to fellow Bronx-born Sonia Sotomayor, who made history in her own right back in 2009 as the first Supreme Court Justice of Latinx descent.

In Ocasio-Cortez’s own words, “Next time someone tells Bronx girls to take off their hoops, they can just say they’re dressing like a Congresswoman." Serving looks and policy change? We’re here for it.
